Publisher's summary
After a dismal upbringing on decaying, alien-infested Earth, Emmaline "Cricket" Beatty now lives a charmed life on humanity's new and improved home planet Meeus.
The constant vulnerability of the before has given way to the ironclad security of the present. Everything is pretty, organized, predictable. There are no flaws in this new world.
When the hospital where Cricket works hosts an intergalactic symposium, she is called upon to translate for the alien guests. She is intrigued to see that a secretive Rix nation has sent a delegate. Lyle is far from a cold-hearted, humorless killing machine like the Rix Cricket has heard about.
When Lyle gets stranded on Meeus, Cricket shelters him, violating Meeus' anti-alien laws. She's drawn to this vulnerable male by a combination of compassion, curiosity, and her own loneliness. They develop a friendship that teeters on the verge of becoming something more, except Lyle's persistent questions about the hospital and medical research conducted there make her increasingly suspicious.
Before too long, a string of seemingly unrelated events happening around Cricket begins to pierce the cocoon of idyllic perfection she built for herself on Meeus. Nothing is what it seems, least of all her new friend Lyle who is using her to search for answers. His quest makes her doubt her own sanity as it puts her in mortal danger, and he is the only one who can keep her safe.

Victoria's day starts out like any other aboard the transorbital ship, Phoenix. Such is the life of an emergency medicine specialist in the age of "post-discovery". Sure, she had always dreamed of interacting with intelligent extraterrestrial life - the real thing, not those microbes on distant moons. Who wouldn't? She was still happy with her career, however mundane and demanding it might be. That's what it took to run a ship the size of a small city smoothly. Monotony.

A vrisha arrives in Grace's underwater city. He takes over one of the substations, forcing the workers out. At the whim of her job, Grace is unwillingly chosen to go below, maintain the station, and stay with the horned, devilish alien. That is how she comes to encounter Xora. An alien born from a race of dominant fighters and fierce hunters. He is as terrifying as he is mysterious. While also commanding, stubborn, unrelenting...and oddly mesmerizing. As her fear slips away, other emotions begin to take hold. And Grace finds she wants to know more.

I signed up for a research mission with five other women. Instead, we crashed on an alien planet with too many dangers to count. Separated from the other women, I’m on my own until a huge alien with color-changing skin and a massive sword gets me out of a bad spot. I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

All but one symptom, anyway. Something is wrong with Tess’ hands. They absorb any material they touch, and her skin turns to wood, steel, or concrete. It doesn’t take this comic book obsessed 21-year-old long to figure out what’s going on: somehow, she’s developed super powers. And she’s not the only one; across the country, people are coming forward and sharing their gifts with the world.

Just Okay
It was.... fine. If you've never read her other books, you'll probably like it. It's a cute alien romantasy with reasonably likeable characters.
However, if you have read her other books, you'll probably be disappointed. I went into Sky Song expecting the same quality I found in Homebound (and Planet Zero) but it just doesn't compare. The story is predictable, the insta-love ruins the arc, and the world building is flat. It reads exactly like every other cookie cutter romantasy, surface level, mildly entertaining, and nothing I'll remember in a month from now.
In Homebound, the prequel / chronicle to Sky Song, there was a palpable dystopian vibe that really pulled you down into her world. From the first paragraph, you could feel the desperation of existing in a system that leaves it's citizens in abject poverty. The fmc's backstory was fully developed so you could understand the turmoil she faced as her interactions with the mmc began to shift. The story between them, the gradual build towards trust, the chemistry, and the evolving dynamic was beautifully constructed. Overall, it was clear that the world, the characters, and the story were intricately designed. There was love and great effort put into that book.
Sky Song loses all of that.
The set up in Homebound of this perfect world for the elite that Cricket escapes to left me with high hopes for an epic, dystopian fantasy where the formerly sick little girl from Earth reigns fire down on the upper class (with a side of slow-burn angst with a Rix who falls for her merciless vengeance).
Instead, we get a basic romantasy fmc who tries to be quirky but is actually just gullible and impulsive. She has this weird hero worship for the doctor who cured her, she frequently does dumb things that make you burn with second hand embarrassment, and she completely accepts the "system" despite her childhood on Earth. As if that weren't bad enough, there is NO tension between the fmc and mmc at all. It was an immediate sure thing. You're telling me that, after growing up taught to hate aliens in a world of poverty where you can't trust anyone, she just jumped right in? Unbelievable. I just couldn't make myself like her.
The mmc is a rough childhood, dark past, dangerous-but-I'd-never-hurt-YOU, classic mmc. He starts off with golden retriever energy (which I thought might work in contrast to the super dark mmc in the first book) but then his personality just gets muddled as the story flops back and forth. He completely loses the warm cinna-vibes and tries to get mysterious but it doesn't work. Also, you can't just hide an empty story line with long, unexplained absences.
Speaking of empty story lines, the plot of this book was superficial. Coming from Homebound, this was the worst offense. That book was a woven tapestry of backstory, world building, and character arcs that told a complete, fluid story. In this book, there are so many "scenes" that read like random side quests to take up space. Issues are introduced and immediately resolved like the author went back later and tried to add dimension. The events in the book also feel scattered, like there is no underlying meaning to them but to increase the page count. It felt like 20% substance, 80% filler. By the end, instead of holding my breath, awake at two AM, watching all the pieces come together in the fallout, I nearly dnf'd with three hours to go because I seriously couldn't care less what happened to any of them.
Also, I can't get past the French accent. It ruined the mmc in Homebound too but the story was so good I looked past it. Please stop. Hard core scary aliens are not French. A Rix who kills a dozen people without empathy should not make me think of croissants and tiny mustaches.
Anyway, if this author writes another book, I'll read it.... warily, but it looks like she may be turning into another build-a-book author with that fill in the blank romantasy formula. I hope I'm wrong. I hope Sky Song was an outlier and her next book will be as well crafted as Homebound and Planet Zero. But, if you do more Rix, please stop giving them human names and French accents. Lyle? Seriously?

interesting
I enjoyed the story, however if you are looking for an escape this is not it. The story ends happy-ish and not fully happy. The reader did an excellent job

Lydia Hope is such a breath of fresh air!
Her stories, characters, and ability to make you feel so much are the best of the best, and everything she writes puts you into the story and makes you feel like you've just discovered reading all over again! I highly recommend anything she creates, especially her stories from the Rix Universe.

Disappointing after the intriguing Book 1
The first book Homebound had a dystopian and gritty feel. The connection between the 2 main protagonist made sense and the chemistry felt right. The character arc of "Simon" was interesting and fun to read. Sky Song sounded terribly artificial and there was no believable background to why the main female character "Emma/Cricket" falls for a perfect stranger who is a "chubby"alien with a pretty face BUT of the same race of the first book 's male lead who almost killed her mother...
This made Emma/Cricket come across as an airhead and her male counterpart didn't come across as real either... he falls in love with her for no particular reason other than it's necessary in this plot.
All of this is a true shame because there was a lot of potential in regard of the plot.
A very disappointing read after Homebound and Zero. Please Ms Hope should there be a Book 3 bring us more of the grit and the surprises of your two previous books because you are a talented writer!!
